Shrinks......


So....I had a visit planned to do see a "doctor" on Wednesday. It snowed about 6 inches in Greenville the night before so everyone with a car on the road was driving 10 miles an hour. Completely frustrating!! So after 45 mins and only going 5 miles, I arrive. I go into the office armed with a significant list of talking point...abandonment, relationships, brain cancer, post surgery life, family, anger issues..etc...etc...I go to the receptionist with a fake smile on my face and say hello and ask how she is doing that morning. She says NOTHING and just takes my DL and Medicare card. She then tells me it will be $150.00. I've found out in the last 5 years that I have to hold my tongue a bit. Instead of saying, "How do you fucking sleep at night?", I simply replied, "I can't afford that." and proceeded to leave. Why is it so expensive to talk your problems over with a stranger. My wife and I spent a lot of time finding this physchologist ande we're promised that she accepted medicaid. She specializes in Brain Cancer survivors. So she should know.....Brain Cancer survivors are usually BROKE....I'm sorry, I have a family, I would rather spend the money on their happiness than my own....I quess society wants me to be a miserable bastard my whole life...so if I'm mean towards you or seem depressed, fell free to call Dr Mayo at 252.758.6080 and disguse with her how she refuses indigent people who need help or just simply ask her how the fuck she sleeps at night?
